The exact date is unknown, but analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the airport ceased operations and fell into disuse sometime between 2016 and 2019. Imagery from 2016 shows a well-maintained turf runway, while imagery from 2019 onwards shows it becoming progressively overgrown.
The specific reason for closure is not publicly documented. However, as a small, privately-owned turf airstrip co-located with a residence, the closure was most likely due to personal reasons of the owner. Common reasons for such closures include the sale of the property, the owner no longer being an active pilot, or the owner being unable to afford the upkeep. There is no evidence to suggest closure was due to a major accident, economic downturn affecting a business, or military conversion.
As of the latest satellite imagery, the site is no longer an active airport. The outline of the former turf runway is still clearly visible but is completely overgrown with grass and vegetation, making it unusable for aircraft. The property appears to be used for residential and agricultural purposes, consistent with the surrounding rural area. There are structures on the property, including a house and outbuildings, which were present when the airport was active.
A J's Airport was a small, private-use airfield. Its historical significance is limited to serving the personal aviation needs of its owner. It consisted of a single turf runway, approximately 1,800 feet long, oriented north-south. Operations would have been restricted to small, single-engine aircraft suitable for grass strip landings, likely for recreational flying or personal transportation. It was not a commercial airport and did not handle scheduled flights or significant general aviation traffic.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening A J's Airport. As privately owned land, any decision to restore and reopen the airstrip would be solely at the discretion of the current landowner. Given its state of disuse and the lack of any public aviation need for the facility, reopening is considered highly unlikely.
